Slaven Bilic praises his West Ham United charges for reacting "in the most brilliant way" at Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday night's EFL Cup fourth-round clash.

Slaven Bilic has praised his West Ham United charges for reacting "in the most brilliant way" as they came from behind to seal a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup.

The Hammers were two goals down at half time after Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli struck for Spurs in Wednesday's fourth-round encounter at Wembley Stadium.

Andre Ayew, however, bagged a brace to draw the visitors level before Angelo Ogbonna headed home from Manuel Lanzini's corner to secure a place in the quarter-final draw.

"The mood was down at half time but not that down as against Brighton," Bilic told Sky Sports News. "We did not penetrate Spurs enough, were not good in the final third and we said things about what we should do when they and ourselves have the ball.

"We reacted in the most brilliant way. To score three goals against them, who do not concede goals, then be brave and compact and good on the ball, we deserved it and it is a big boost for us.

"Goals are always key, they give the whole team energy. We did not want to concede the third and then score ourselves. We did that and had more confidence, it gave us rhythm and they got out of rhythm. We kept going, kept pressing and in the second half were closer in midfield to Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko who are good at breaking forward. It was a very good team performance."

The draw for the last eight of the EFL Cup will be held in London at 4pm on Thursday.
